The Gay SecretaryActually Obama, look carefully; some of those pitchforks are aimed at you as well!

When the big bank CEOs tried to convince Obama that they deserved big bonuses, he reminded them that the public wanted their heads on a platter:

“These are complicated companies,” one CEO said. Offered another: “We’re competing for talent on an international market.”

But President Barack Obama ... stopped the conversation and offered a blunt reminder of the public’s reaction to such explanations. “Be careful how you make those statements, gentlemen. The public isn’t buying that.”

“My administration,” the president added, “is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”
